Why it might work
  • Flowers over greenSee By Chloe brings floral; Idle Hour brings woody. Flowers over green or wood tends to read natural rather than perfumed.
  • Notes in commonBoth list bergamot, ylang-ylang and musk, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
  • A shared threadWoody, yellow floral and sweet run through both.
  • Opposite seasonsVoters put See By Chloe in spring and Idle Hour in summer and fall. Together they may suit the months in between.
  • Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: See By Chloe is moderate on both, Idle Hour weak and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
Suggested from the two fragrances' accords, notes and votes. Not yet tested by wearers.
A starting pointIdle Hour first, then See By Chloe over it, one spray each.The deeper one goes on first so the lighter one sits on top. Adjust to taste.
